Caller: I called the number provided

I got a msg on my laptop from this number. “ you computer is licked” I called the number. The asked questions if I use my laptop for emails, , banking etc. Told him only for online classes. He then asked me to hold down my power button for 7 seconds and when the screen turns black to wait 1/2 hr before I can turn it.back on. I suspected he was a hacker and wanted me to provide info thus the questions about banking etc. I turned on my computer and it came on immediately

Number probably being spoofed by hacker pretending to be from Microsoft. Popup on screen warns of being hacked - call Microsoft on this number. Call redirects to another number where a "technician" will ask to access your PC and have a good look around! Unfortunately one of our staff fell for this earlier today.

Caller: Scammer

Scammers pretending to be Microsoft. Do not follow their instructions.

Got a long call from this number. Said to be Microsoft at North Sydney. Too k over my computer and made programming changes
